Topic	I rank 300 VGM (2024 edition) [ranking]
rwlh 03/03/24 1:14:32 PM #146:	235/4671 @Tked POD Planet of Death - Mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdGncGOj4GA Speaking of ALL PHASE MIX this is one of the longer nominations in the ranking, clocking in at just over fourteen and a half minutes. I counted five distinct phases, all of which consistently have nice drumbeats and space effects. The mix doesnt pick up for me until part 3, with a faster beat and a very distinct sense of running through a forest (though this is apparently a racing game?). Part 4 is intense, with a stronger, pulsating beat and some "breathing" in the background; the whole thing paints a vivid picture of a hostile, foreign environment. Notable here is the weird meter. Part 5, the last part (at least that I counted), is more spooky than intense, like Im being stalked by a predator. I think this is more a medley of a bunch of songs than a consistent piece, but everything works together very nicely and builds off each other. 234/4668 @andylt Sonic Heroes - Casino Park https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZfFI8F7XSY Bouncy bouncy wheee wheee. I hear this and I dont think Casino, but I do think Park, like a kids park with slides and sandboxes. Maybe thats what Casino Park is, like you gamble on seesaws. The song would be higher if it wasnt as repetitive and didnt replay the same measure over and over. Ah well! 233/4666 @Fluttershy_Pony Impossible Pixel and the Fate of Destiny - The Evil Pixel https://youtu.be/PnkHY1em_No Really nice EVIL atmosphere in this one. I love a good grungy, messy chiptune aesthetic, and The Evil Pixel really nails that. For something as short as it is though, I found my focus waning a bit throughout, which is why its as low as it is. 232/4661 @Snake5555555555 Slay the Princess - Fragmentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyCaGte56ms Im not a huge fan of the lo-fi samples here, but they do work to convey a pervasive sense of melancholy. This seems like horror music but its more like, existential horror, like the monster is inside of you all along (I dont know what the game is about). Its a deceptively simple song that manages to still be very evocative. 231/4647 bea Zubo - Team Pop Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gu7pkrIar4 This feels like music for, like, two generations after mine, haha. The energetic melody and sample-infused rock hearken back to childhood. The heee-yaaahhs give it a nice sense of playfulness. Incidentally, this got the same score as another heee-yaaahh song, Celestes Confronting Myself, though the songs are separated by about two hundred places. <cite>rwlh posted [p:979164365] in I rank 300...
